Mad? by the Ex* tendon Cor vic? of Clemton College. Clemson College, Dec. 12^-Tho Ex tension Service of CU; in non College bas published Extension Bulletin 4S. "Farming under Boll Weevil Condi tions," and has secured through Sen ator N. B .Dial the publication of a revision of the "Report of the South Carolina Boll Weevil Commission." Doth of these publications, which pmy be had from county agenta or (rom the Extension Service, Clem Bon College, S. C. .contain valuablo sug gestions on growing cotton auder boll weevil conditions. Some of these are liven below. Stalk Destruotion and Cleaning up lite Perm.-The hordes of weevils that ravage the cotton crop arc tho \ offspring of parent weevils that pass ed the preceding winter successfully. The weovils doveloping late in the fall tire the onus most likely to sur vive tho winter, as they are no*, worn out by long flights and by ogg laying. The greateet nnmber of weevils will survive in those Holds on wHich cot ton stalks together ?Villi grass, weeds and other refuse material offering shelter, are allowed to remain. Tho early destruction of cotton stalks by j chopping and plowing them under, thc planting of winter covers, and the cleaning of terraces, ditch banks, sd g os of woods, and other places of fering winter shelter, constitute the first step in making the next year's .rep. Thorough Preparation.-When a < cover crop is grown on the land dur ing fall and winter, it should be plowed under early in tho sering so that the land will have ample t::ne to | settle before planting. Cotton comes up more quickly and starts growth earlier if planted on s firm well-set tled ?teed bed than if planted on s loose one. If the land has been in corn and velvet beans, or v. rt?d peas during the aumin or rvnd conveniently planted to . <v.v th i H should be grarod '.'.url the early winter months anc plo n der In mid-winter for b< i .y ca tion of nitrogen, and tl i w Ivo time for the land to settl- * or ganic matter to humify . ai nag time.

R ls important te have .?.n carly fruiting variety but lt is also impor tant to have a variety which contin uos to fruit throughout tho season. The boll woevll profnrB to puncture ; squuros and will do KO if they are present in the plants; nut If none are to he-found, he will then puncture the ! half-grown bolls. This explains why i lt is Important for a variety to cou- i tinue fruiting throughout the season. ? It should be understood that other varieties may in a given season and under favorable conditions yield moro j than these, but whv.-n taken for a por- j iod of years the above named varie ties have proved thoir superiority. Planting as Eearly as Safety will Permit.-Cotton should he planted as early as possible aftor danger of kill ing frost is over and the ground in warm enough to in s ii ru quick germi nation and rapid growth. In ordor lo insure a good stand without replant ing, more seed shonld bc used than han boon the custom In the past. It ia well to uso from ono to two buril ?is por aero, depending on tho con dition of the land, more seed hoing usod whoro the land is rough and oloddy or cold. It is a distinct advant age when practicable to delint tho seed, because dellnted Hood will germ inate more quickly by several days, under adverse conditions, than will undellnted seed. Judklowe Fertilixlng.-A liberal ap plication ot commercial fertiliser is also advisable, and this fertiliser should contain ac abundance of phos phoric aold, as this ingredient hantons tho maturity of th? orop up to a point whor:) the plant liss all it requires in Its grewlh. On most soils In this state about 300 pounds of acid phosphate per icre will give most profitable re sults. A Uboral amount of ammonia hastens the maturity of the crop up to a certain point. Too much am monia delays the crop as does too little, hone? the Importance of hav ing tho correct a?ou?t of ammonia for each soil. Roch fanner should study the needs of his aolls r.nd uso tho amount of ammonia which he Ands best for his Innd. Potash ls noe- j assnry on most of our sandy soils and j on snmo of our Piedmont soils. Where a good systom of farming is ? practiced la the Piedmont soetlon, j whore thc crops aro rotated and or-1 :VIL CONDITIONS ganic matter supplied, no potash should be roquired. An excess of pot abh also tends to delay the maturity of the crop, und for this reason mod erate applications will generally give best results. A well balanced fart User which supplies the needs of the soil to which it is applied gives tho curliost crop and the largest crop. All of the phosphorus and the pot ash and moHl of the nitrogen should be applied by the time the first squares benin to form. On very light sandy soils it is advisable to apply ihoro of thlH nitrogen after the cotton is up. but in no case should this np plicat: m be delayed until late In the season. Where large applications of fertilizer are made at planting time, it is important to mix the fertilizer with the soil thoroughly so that lt will not interfere with the germination and early growth of the cotton. Rapid Cultivation.-From tho very Etart, cotton should be cultivated in tensively to prevent weeds and grass from ever getting a start. To ac complish this, frequent shallow culti vation is advisable. Cotton should never be cultivated so deep as to do story the roots of the plants, and un der no conditions should weeds and grass be allowed to get a start in the cotton, as ihey will delay the growth. Collecting Weevils. - lt may be helpful to pick weevils from the young cotton pants before the squares appear whenever cheap labor that costs practically nothing in cash is available If weevil collecting is done with the Utmost care, giving special atti inion to places whore the greatest nunile;- of weevils hibernated, the majority of the weevils may be caught before they lay their eggs. It is esti mated that weevil collecting when upon thorough search less ti)an 50 weevils per acre are found, is not pro fitable. Collecting Squares.-When low priced labor is available, square col lecting will be holpful if properly done. Collecting should bo begun about ton days after the first bloom ls seen in the field. But unless lt ls done thoroughly it is amprofitabio. About every five days ?*ery square must bo picked, not only those on the ground, but also those that bare dried on the plants, as well as thoee whioh show yellow color or are flared. This should be continued during the first weeks of the square-forming period. During wet seasons when cultivation is ImnofnUMe, pk>~r labor may be used until cultivation can be resumed. Special attention should be given to places where a large number of weovils passed the winter, such as bottom lands, woods and fields ad joining waste land or other places where rubbish occurs. It is advised that all collected squares, Instead of being dostroyed, be placed m a box having one of Its walls mado of ordinary wire window Bcreoning. Instead of a box. a barrel covorod with ordinary window screen ing may bc used and this laid hori zontally at some convenient place. The box or barrel must l>e tight so that no emerging woevils con escape. The nieshos of the wire semens are too small for weovile to escapo, yet sufficient large to pormit tho escape of par?sitos. Attempts at poisoning the cotton boll weevil in l<e>l j>nva variable and generally unsatisfactory results. Com paring the work and results secured in South Carolina with the work and results ser ar?d in othor states, lt is believed that the results secured In this state during 1921 were due to ad verse weather conditions during tho poisoning period, and that poisoning ls profitable when proporly done on high yielding land, provided that tho weather ls favorsblo. U*e of Winter Cover Cropc.-The value of winter crops in fighting the boll woovil can not bo over-estl matod. In the first place, the boll weevil can not spend the winter in a green cover crop, as it is impossible for him to ovaporatc a sufficient amount of water from his body to en able him to live through the winter. In the second place, winter cover crops prevent washing and leaching, thus saving a very large amount of nitrogen, which is our most expensive fortillr.or. If legumes are used as cover crops, they not only save a large amount of nitrogen from leaching out of the soil but may actually add sev ersl dollars worth of nitrogen to tho soil. They also greatly increase the organica matter In the soil, wti'C one of the most Important factors In developing an early cotton soil. Hens vs. Pullets.- One of the im portant problems that the poultry} man has to deal with is how to got tlie largest number of egg? from his flock. How can he do this? Hy se lecting pullets to comprise! about two thirds of his entire fllock rather than by having a majority of hens. Sta tistics show that L allots lay about .'10 oggs more per yoar than hens. This is true for both the heavy and the light broeds. The not profit therefore in in favor of the pullets. They lay more eggs in tho fall and winter when the prices are high, and so tend fur ther to incroaso tb* profit. During tho pullet year an 'estimated profit abovo food of $3.80 per bird is ne*ted, while for the hen year a profit -)f $2.52 per bird is Rotted. Why then keep a large flock of birds which will decrease the profits rathor thr.n increase them" Keep mort, p".?iot8 and fewer hens In the flock. It pays and moans hotter re sults all round. 4 .ruX)H VARNISH Brilliant White Enameled, Woodwork There is nothing more beau tiful than smooth white enamel finished doors, stairways, pillars und wainscoting.
